@Patrickwebb I can easily believe this. President Trump bombing Iran, and thus denying them nuclear, weapons undoubtedly saved tens of millions of American lives. We should all be crying tears of joy. Thanks President Trump!

This is a smart move for humanity. Between 1945 and 1992 the US tested 1,054 nuclear weapons. About 1 every 18 days on average. Dating back to the Kennedy administration leftists lobbied to stop this testing. Bush 1 was the first president dumb enough to listen to them. Instead of reducing our rate of testing to once or twice a year, or even once every ten years, Bush was irresponsible and stopped completely. We were told that these weapons could be "virtually" tested with computer simulations. Nuclear weapons are extremely complex machines that have precision machined metals, plastics, styrofoam, high explosives, wiring, rubber, glass, ceramic, and gelatin parts. Parts that can corrode, shrink, crack and fail. The only way to know with 100% confidence that if the president ever orders their use they will work 100% of the time, the first time, every time, is to occasionally test them. Up until the 1990s every modern president had advisors who had actually witness nuclear testing. Most of them are now elderly and no longer in government. Having advisors and policy makers who have never witnessed the awesome power of these weapons first hand leads to bad decision making like we saw during the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations allowing North Korea to get the bomb and Iran being allowed to work on their nuclear program.

Having advisors and policy makers who have never witnessed the awesome power of these weapons first hand leads to bad decision making like we saw during the Clinton and Obama administrations allowing North Korea to get the bomb amd being soft on Iran. If president Trump follows through on this order and the US conducts tests the world will be a much safer place in the years to come.
@KimKatieUSA Why is the woman who's filming this rooting for the law breaking illegal instead of LAW ENFORCEMENT? Parts of our society are going to the dogs....
@themariapappas why haven't you cooperated with the Illinois legislator is correcting the law to comply with the SCOTUS Tyler decision?

@CrainsChicago The Plaintiff’s attorneys in the Fed Bell vs Pappas case filed a motion to specify a class of over 8,000 victims who lost their homes and properties to a tax deed and are eligible for compensation under the Tyler vs Hennepin decision. They seek nearly a Billion in compensation.
@themariapappas should spend more time managing the treasure's office and less time at Glamour Shots posing for calenders. The Indemnity Fund is 6 years behind in paying out awards to needy families who have lost their homes and Maria is yelling at her makeup artist to fix her eye liner before the next photo shoot... I remember when Pappas was first elected, she spent hours everyday at the first floor counter helping the people. Now she couldn't care any less about people, she worries about her calender all day long.... maybe it's time to elect a new treasure....
@PekalaLaw@themariapappas should do her job and work to strengthen and properly fund the Illinois Indemnity Fund to protect Illinois families, instead she's working on her Calendar https://t.co/WZngYJhvMx
Glamor Shots were for the 80's, get with program @themariap
Illinois is the only state in the country that has a safety net "Insurance Policy" in law that allow families who have lost their homes for non payment of taxes to apply for an award that will help them repurchase the home and get back on their feet financially speaking. Unfortunately in @CookCountyTreas Maria Pappas has severely mismanaged the program and she is SIX years behind on paying out awards to the families who desperately need help. Pappas is also opposing common sense legislation pending in Springfield supported by the non-profit Homeowners Indemnity Fund Association that if passed would strengthen the safeguards this program provides and assure that state is in constitutional compliance with the recent SCOTUS decision.
@CookCountyTreas Part 3 to be resold repeatedly. She is respondible for millions of dollars being paid out unnecessary. Most of the money paid out involved "Administrative sale in errors" in which the Treasurer's office declared there was an error, then resold the same properties, with the same
@CookCountyTreas Part 2 Maria Pappas's employees are repeatedly selling exempt property, property that is protected by bankruptcy protection laws, property with assessment mistakes, etc year after year.... it is her incompetence and mismanagement that has caused these properties to be
@CookCountyTreas Part 1 @themariapappas and @CookCountyTreas are phony and disingenuous with this report. The Sale in Error law exists for situations when the county mistakenly sells property at the tax sale that was not eligible to be sold. In other words Maria
@RealDaniHensley It's very disappointing that someone who purports to be a journalist would make an effort to silence others free speach rights. People should be allowed to Tweet whatever they want to Tweet.
